Say goodbye to that, though, because the days of neglecting self-care are gone. Now, more than ever, we need to take care of us. Yes, others too, but also ourselves.

The Power of the Military Spouse Tribe

The Power of the Military Spouse Tribe

Seth Godin once said: “A group needs two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate.”

Alisa is relevant in the sport and being a mother has family obligations which she must manage. 

COVID-19 is having an impact, but she has found ways to maintain her fitness. The environment is serious, but you do not have to put your life on hold.

Not all of us can be Alisa, but there are points which you can apply to your approach to fitness. Each person is responsible for their own fitness, and you will get out of your program what you put into it.
